activlly trying to make a change in their/our world.
And no, let's not  turn it into a discussion on whether your vote counts.
Just sign in if you've voted ,ok?
But..it is  a free country..heck..speak your piece if you must..(hope that reads "peace"

Really?  So tell Me, how corrupt is John McCain?  I bet he made up that Vietnam Tiger Cage stuff (oh, wait....you don't even know what I'm talking about, do you?)  And Barak Obama...what a poseur.  Lets see... should we talk history?  That corrupt Tom Jefferson.  That crooked Abe Lincoln.   That twisted Ben Frank...well...OK, I'll give you that one. *GRIN*

Oh Pul-leeze.  I heard a great statistic today.  Only 3 of Illinois governors in the past 50 years were NOT indicted.

I'm from Chicago.  I voted.  Twice.

Exactly, there are many ways to gather the facts. Just have to get off your lazy ass and do it.


i think that is the problem right there, they are too busy on CM pissing and moaning about how awful life is. i think it is interesting that neither of them mention any of the issues on the ballot. Only the people running. Maybe they don't realize you vote on more than people on election day.

Well, as it was pointed out before, if they followed the OP's direction, then only people who had voted would be posting.

Sadly, this is all too common. Americans have, by in large, become too uneducated and apathetic to participate in something that people in many other countries would risk dying for the right to do. It is pathetic and frightening. Far more so that any threat of illegal aliens taking all those low paying jobs.

I apologize....I missed her post but read the entire thread over again and will add her to the O list.....
Nothing against you and Jersey personally but if you're gonna talk about politics and you choose not to vote then you just don't count in my book.....

I don't love you or hate you....you don't count is all. It's obvious you don't give a damn about politics but yet still benefit from being an American.....so sad. If you've ever been on welfare I have paid your bills. This country sure does stink...doesn't it?

Actually, and I am not trying to be mean here at all, but in my opinion there is a reason we were given brains. To USE THEM to make good........or in many cases..........bad decisions. So, I have to disagree. God does not make the decision. God gave us a brain and is now sitting back wondering........"why did I bother?"
